I just finished doing all of the steps needed to flash a rom, kernel and etc but I was wondering if I could just flash a kernel on the stock sense rom that's on my htc one without having to flash a rom? *any help is appreciated, thanks in advance* :good:

Most Roms come with a kernel, if only the stock one, but yes, you can flash a kernel separately, without flashing a Rom. This is normally how you flash a custom kernel. I highly recommend either of flar2's kernels: ElementalX or Bulletproof!
oh ok thank you very much

I have decided to keep ota 2.3.4 rom but I am rooted. What custom kernels will work with the ota 2.3.4. When I try to flash a custom kernel it breaks the camera. Thanks.
Do you mind me asking why you want a custom kernel?
AFAIK there are no kernels designed for the 2.3.4 update although some might work just a mater of finding one. Could i suggest just flashing cm7 that way you can flash some kernels and on top of it you have a custom ROM with a mess of other features.

If you're looking for a kernel providing Audio Boost & support for EXT4, here you go, plus within the post there are a couple other kernels that work fine.

Hi Guys
Also, Now Im using Stock Kernel + Stock ROM with some modules from great doixanh
But I need Swap because...sometimes its a little bit laggy and I need custom kernel
It is possible to have custom Kernel and Stock ROM?
cheers

Nope, NOT possible.
Firstly, android is not really ready for swap and it will most likely spoil your sd card much faster.
Secondly, if you need a custom kernel, most probably you will need a custom rom. My recommendation: GingerDx.
The question is really in the title, what do I flash first when upgrading from darky froyo to ICS, the kernel or the rom?
Thanks!

Follow instructions for the particular ROM you want to flash
They usually don't mention the kernel, only the rom :/

The kernel is pretty much always included in the.zip, if you want to change from the ROM kernel to another, then usually just a case of using a cleaning script, or manually clearing cache/dalvik and a couple of others (init.d & Ns tools usually) and flash away
upgrade 2.2 to ics
You have to burn GB stock-rom 2.3 with odin first !!!
after you finish you need gb kernel like semaphore 1.8 also burn with odin (give the stock root).
and finnely flash the ics rom you wont (with the dev Specific rom Guidelines)

Afaik you don't need gb bootloader to flash to ics, (see slim website) however it is a good idea to in case you want to revert to gb, but in that case it is easier just to flash the boot loader....see nitr8s ezboot thread
Hi, I know it's been a really long time of the thread but what I know ALWAYS FLASH THE ROM FIRST AND THEN THE KERNEL
Dear all,
Now I am on a custom GB rom with custom kernel. If I would like to move to ICS stock rom, do I need to flash with stock kernel? Sorry if my question looks stupid and repeats. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Make sure not to wipe/factory reset if you are on any ICS stock kernel. Best way is to follow the guide by Dr. Ketan for installation of ICS. Follow this link:

Folow the yin-yang said link in above msg.
Find rooting guide on first post
and look to method 2.
That is idle for you from where are you.

All GB kernels are safe to flash from. In case you want to flash ICS Stock ROM, you would require a ICS Stock/Custom Kernel to go with it.

What are you on about here? The guy want to move to stock ICS; where I come from 'stock' means NO rooting and NO custom kernels.
All he needs to do is flash a stock ICS Rom of his choice using PC Odin and nothing else.

Oops, forgot to delete that line from my reply. The second line was meant for him, i.e., to follow Dr. Ketans Guide. Have deleted the line. Thanks & Sorry.
Hi,
[Don't know how to use multi-quote!]
Thanks for all of your replies. Why I am going to stock ICS rom is as a stepping stone to any custom ICS rom in the future. This seems to be an all-recommended method for most custom ICS rom.
Dr.Ketan:
Thanks, I have been looking into your threads, including the one yin-yang recommended. "Method 2" means "1.b Final Installation" right? And flashing stock rom will flash stock kernel altogether?
Yes I have been thinking this should be the way to go, just not sure if flashing stock rom will leave the kernel on the custom one and causes any problem.
Yin-yang/chasmodo:
Thanks for your information!
Hey everybody.. Finally i got some strength to flash rom on my SGN.After going thru bunch of posts i got that sgn is affected with brick bug.
So i followed Philz guide about flashing Philz kernel. I have some confusion that
**DO I NEED TO FLASH PHILZ SAFE KERNEL ZIP BEFORE AND AFTER FLASHING ROM**??
Also,Is Philz kernel compatable with all types of ROM available for SGN? If not then which kernel?

What ROM have you flashed exactly? Philz kernel is only compatible with Samsung (Touchwiz) Roms. If you have flashed a new ROM chances you are using the built-in kernel.
See...if you have read carefully then you have noticed that the brickbug is present in ics only.brickbug isnt present in gb.and for jb i am not sure....
As far as philz kernel is concerned it is based on touch and present for ics and jb.

You don't need to flash the kernel after flashing the Custom roms, since almost all custom roms will have safe kernel with them.. on the other hand, you will have to flash a safe kernel after flashing the rom, if you are flashing a stock ICS rom..
What if custom rom doesnt come with a safe kernel?
There aren't generalized rules covering all scenarios. You'll have to mention from which rom you are going to which rom.

Then learn to read the OP. There will be instructions as to what to do if the rom doesn't come with a safe kernel.

keep alternative tar file of a safe kernel compatible with your present rom on sd card and then flash it through mobile odin - this method of switch over is safe
those unsafe kernels have certain distinct plus points, thats why the devs put them in custom roms and if you are an expert and can handle them ......surf on them and feel the difference...... (not for newbies and noobs)

this is how i flash my galaxy note but im not saying its how u should do it: i usually have the rom in my sd card cmw as well as well as superuser. then i flash cmw and then super user..reboot system..after being rooted i then flash a safe kernel after flashing i reboot recovery which is the new kernel recovery ..there i wipe and clean everything..then i flash rom..so to answer your question, i would say flash safe kernel before flashing rom as most roms require a clean install for better performance
good luck..oh i am also a noob..running alliance rom 1.1

To answer your question, if you need to flash a kernel, it needs to be done BEFORE you do any wipes.
If you flash a custom rom, chances are it comes with a custom kernel as people have mentioned. Mostly, these are safe. But to be sure, make sure that you have flashed a custom kernel and rebooted to recovery before you wipe. If this concerns you greatly, then follow the advice in Dr. Ketan's excellent rooting thread, and install the stock rooted Gingerbread rom provided there. This has a stock kernel, but as it is Gingerbread, it is completely safe to wipe. You can then go and flash whatever you want on top.
